CVE-2024-4185: CWE-330 Use of Insufficiently Random Values in wpcodefactory Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce
The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Email Verification and Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.4 via the use of insufficiently random activation code. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the email verification, and if both the "Login the user automatically after the account is verified" and "Verify account for current users" options are checked, then it potentially makes it possible for attackers to bypass authentication for other users.

The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin suffers from CWE-330 due to insufficient randomness in the activation codes used for email verification. This weakness enables unauthenticated attackers to bypass the email verification process.

The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch links are currently available, and the vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.7.4.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass email verification and potentially authenticate as other users if certain plugin options are enabled. This can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider disabling the affected plugin or the specific options "Login the user automatically after the account is verified" and "Verify account for current users" to reduce risk.
